Kalakaua is now 81 years of age, and
has been drawing $25, 600 a year since he
started, besides extra money being paid
his queen, his and her stats, and their
household expenses. Although the king
has an interest in three saloons, and has
some good property in land, and certainly
often helps some of his poor subjects,
yet the mass of this wealth goes to the
Poi feasts and Hula dances, in which his
predecessors also reveled.
See kalakaua on u state occasion, and,
fairly %corpulent as he is, he seems hardly
to have room to hold his medals and dec
orations-all one blaze of useless glitter.
But creep down TO the Union saloon early
some evening. There you will see his
majesty, King Kalakaua of the Hawaiian
Islands, sitting before his toddy, dressed
in an old blue serge suit, with a cheap
straw hat on the back of his head, and
looking. ahl far happier, after all.

Sun reporter. He did not look big or

he seemed like an ordinary youngster.

over, and as he seemed to be very much
in earnest, and had the right spirit in
him, | told him to come around at s
o'clock and | would give him Il set-tO. He
came, and had evidently made up his
mind to do me. He did not know much
about fighting then, but he came about as
near using yours truly up as any man
that ever lived. When he bounced INTO
the ring there was blood in his eye. He
had the same terrific hitting power then
as he has low. We left our corners and

raw man in front Of me who had nothing

that if Sullivan did me in that round it

all that | had been at so much pains to

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Col. Thomas
E. Rose of the army is Just now visiting
the East Tor the FIRST time in many years.
He is the commanding officer at Fort
Concho, Tex. Rose is famous as the man
whe organized the famous escape from
Libby prison, which re ulted in forty-nine
Union soldiers being freed from that dun
geon the night of Feb. 9, 1864. His
account of the details is deeply interesting.
He and Capt. A. g. Hamilton, 10Th
Kentucky cavalry (since promoted), were
the only two who stuck to the work from
beginning to end, three months and a
half. Several times gangs of men be-
came disheartened and gave up
work, and Col, Rose gives all the
credit for the scientific success to Capt.
Hamilton. When they finally made
their escape, about 8 o'clock in the even
ing, he was the first one to crawl through
the hole into the street. He was sepa-
rated from Capt. Hamilton in avoiding a
crowd, and they did not meet again for
months. His description of the suffering
Of the next five days is filed with inter-
esting incidents. He wake for five days
through rain and swamps with his clothes
often frozen to mis- body. During that
time he had only a few bareback to eat,
and he was suffering from a broken foot,
which grew more painful every day.
After travelling fifty, four miles from Rich
mond he was finally captured by three
rebels dressed in federal uniform, and
taken back to prison. His exchange was
finally effected April 80, 1864, after which
he was sent to Annapolis, thence to Col
umbus, and he rejoined his regiment
June 6, 1864. Col Rose is now in his
57th wear.

Ended His Wlfe's TROUBLES.

OMAHA Aug. 24-George Parks, a
negro living at No. GA North Fifteenth
street, anne heme drunk Sunday night,
smashed the dishes and furniture and
beat his wife. When arrested his inebrl-
ate frenzy seemed to be ended and he
quietly submitted to the officer. About
II O'Clock yesterday morning he was
taken to the county Jail to serve out his
sentence and two hours later, while sitting
smoking and chatting with his fellow
prisoners, he suddenly tell back dead,
supposedly from heart disease, with
which he had been afflicted for some time.
The theme for his eDitaph is aptly con
tanned in the remarks OF his wife as she
gazed IN his dead face in the morgue,
We'll, well, George, you'se been a pow
full trouble to us, but you'll trouble us

Dragged to Death.

DAVID CITY, Neb., Aug. ga seri-
Gus accident happened near Bellwood yes
terday. A son of VIM. Napier was riding
a skittish horse. The animal became
frightened and threw the boy, whose foot
caught in the stirrup and he was dragged
for a half mile to the house. When
found he was in an unconscious condition.
Commencing at the cyelids, the scalp was
torn almost completely from the head. A
doctor, who was summoned from this
place, devoted four hours to dressing up
the wound, and says it is the most pecu-
liar case he ever saw. 1t is doubtful if
the boy will recover.

Arrested for Murder.

GARDNER, Ill, Aug. 24-Miss Sarah
II. Dodge was arrested tonight on the
charge of being the murderess of Babcock,
of Chicago, who died yesterday from u
mysterious pistol shot received at Gardncr.
Miss Dodge is thirty five years Of age and
lives with her mother IN a farm. Bah
cock frequently visited them, and seems
to have maid marked attention to the
daughter recently. There is a rumor that
Babcock borrowed considerable money
from one or both of the women. The
possessions of Miss Dodge and her mother
are estimated at $75, O0O. Nothing of
consequence was brought u in the pre-
liminary examination of Miss Dodge,
Practically nothing has been made pub
lie concerning her connection with the
tragedy, except that she met Babe ok at
the dept when he arrived from Chicago
and is believed to have conveyed him in
a buggy to Gardner after he was wounded.

Using Money sensIbIy.

The great majority of men live SO
nearly up to the full measure of their in
come that losses by reason of sickness or
other causes put them on the downward
track, which once begun is so difficult to
retrace. 1t is far easier when money is
plenty to learn new methods of eXpendi-
ture than to reverse the process. The
art of using money sensibly is difficult.
Probably in the cases of the poorest the
larger share of their scanty earnings goes
for what does them more harm than
good.-Boston Budget.

bAoA JAoho ANSPuD1lSdA SOhNSlllOD
BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. "a The state
convention of the Republican party to
nominate candidates for governor, comp.
troller and attorney general, met in this
city at l:30 O'Clock. Temporary organi-
cation was effected and committees on
permanent organization and resolutions
were appointed, after which a recess was
taken to afford time to report.
The platform demands radical reform
In the civil service, and that the power
OF removal for cause shall accompany the
power of appointments, declares that the
action of the president regarding federal
appointments is conclusive evidence that
his profession Of civil service reform is
hollow and delusive; that congress should
pass the Blair educational bill or some
equivalent; favors some measure for
adjusting the difference between capital
and labor; for the passage of a law pro
tecting American labor, and for the pas
sage of a stringent law against the use of
money at elections. The balance OF the
platform deals with local questions.
The following nominations were made:
For governor, W. B. Brooks, comptrol-
Ter, K. B. Dixon; attorney general, Fran
els Miller. After the nominations were
made j. K. Cowan, a prominent leader
OF the reform movement OF the Demo-
cratic party, was introduced. and in a
strong speech pledged the Republican
ticket the full support of independent
Democrats.

full attempt to make one vote in the South
equal to two in the North; it favors a
protective tariff, a practicable reduction of
national and state taxes, and advocates the
strict enforcement and improvement of
the civil service law. The sixth clause of
the platform condemns the administration
OF Cleveland for its shameful abuse of the
Union soldier, the despotic use of the
veto power. and the attempt to reverse
the verdict of the wal by the surrender
of the rebel battle flags. The tenth clause
expresses sympathy with the people in
their struggle for home rule, whether they
be Irish, led by Gladstone, or the people
of this country deprived of home rule by
the partisan injustice of the Democratic
party.
